Gray Stone vs J499
Gray Stone is a PPG color while J499 comes from Tikkurila. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. At LRV 50 vs 47, J499 will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. With a ΔE of 1.6, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
